I wanted to share with you all a little something that Virtual Vista has been offering to its clients.

Virtual Vista has taken the Single Property Website to the next level! We have created a template that uses the embedded virtual tour and the specs that normally appear on the side of the tour window. Also, we have added a link to Realtor.com for more detailed information. We have also added a slideshow, along with the RTV mortgage calculator, school information, and a Google map.

Another cool feature we have added is the request for information form, which is then forwarded to the agent’s e-mail. We have also created a page that allows the client to view the traffic to the property’s site.

Each site can be customized with the company logo, agent picture, and the color scheme of choice. Our property websites look great; they are simple and user friendly, and extremely functional.

The virtual tour industry becomes more competitive every year. More companies that offer “virtual tours” (even if they are just simple slide shows) open their doors every day. That means more companies are fighting for the same customers. So what can you do to win their business? Sure you can show them the virtual tour, stats reports and social networking built right in. Offer them the online distribution engine and then show them your PanoRider.

Even with online distribution, over 70% of home buyers claim the yard sign in front of the house is still an extremely valuable source of information and the PanoRider is a VERY effective yard sign. Prospective buyers who pass by a sign need a reason to react to and remember the listing.

By adding a PanoRider to the sign, you have instantly given that person an easy, non-confrontational way to access information online. When they are ready to contact the listing agent, the phone number, website and email are right in the tour window. So be sure to offer your clients your PanoRider every time they place an order. You will be surprised how many agents want these great marketing tools. But it is up to you to tell them about it! If you don’t have a PanoRider, order one right now and keep it in your car. Then you can pull it out at the photo shoot and show the agent in person. You WILL sell many more of them if you do this every time. It’s easy money and you hardly have to do anything other than show them the product and collect the money!

Jason LaVanture, Vice President of RTV stated, “We are excited to release the Rotator-Mini this month. Now more than ever, real estate agents and local virtual tour business owners need economical solutions to remain competitive without sacrificing the quality of their services or their business image. The addition of the Rotator-Mini allows both our in-house and full service virtual tour providers to offer the same high quality virtual tours as our complete builder kit and at a fraction of the cost. In the nine years that RTV has been in business this is one of those moments that you look back on and say, ‘that was a game changer’!”

According to the website, the new Rotator-Mini panoramic tripod head provides uncompromised quality for virtual tours and panoramic VR. The evenly spaced and level photos taken with the Rotator-Mini produce beautiful interactive panoramas quickly and effortlessly. This small pano head is engineered specifically for lightweight point and shoot digital cameras and weighs in at less than 2 lbs. Combined with RTV software, the Rotator-Mini enables real estate agents and virtual tour providers to turn digital photography into immersive interactive virtual tours at an economical price.

RTV is also offering an upgrade program to replace the now discontinued 360 stick. Real estate agents that wish to upgrade to the Rotator-Mini may contact RTV at 866-947-8687 ext 410 for reduced upgrade pricing. Because of the compact size, the Rotator-Mini may not be compatible with many larger digital SLR cameras; however interested parties are encouraged to contact RTV for other available options.
